A gorgeous patio plopped out of a European courtyard is what your eyes first settle on as you enter Pom Court on a fall day. The urge to eat, mingle, and sip on a hot drink or cocktail while taking in the setting is immediate.Â
The Southern fusion Spanish tapas restaurant is Hotel Grenada’s newest restaurant offering. The Atlanta Voice visited the Midtown restaurant on a Saturday morning to try its new weekend brunch menu which leans more into its Southern cuisine offerings with items such as fried catfish and grits and biscuits and gravy.Â
Our spread included Pom Court’s breakfast pastas bravas, blue cornbread, smash burger, chef April’s french toast, and chicken sausage. The morning’s highlight was the smash burger, topped with jalapeño ranch, fried green tomato, an over-easy egg, and onion straws. It’s the perfect brunch item made even better by the crispy fries and comeback sauce we asked for on the side. The Anson Mill’s cornbread was also a nice, delicious surprise. Baked with blue cornmeal, the southern staple could easily be mistaken as a brownie at first glance, but the first bite into the warm and fluffy bread dispelled that notion, and the slightly sweet flavor was enhanced by butter and the house-made preserve.

The patatas bravas is a great meal for those looking for a hefty vegetarian option. For us, it could’ve benefited from a meat protein or more of the sauce that was drizzled on the mix of cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, roast peppers, and scrambled eggs, but that was fixed with a side order of chicken sausage. The french toast flavors rotate daily, and banana pudding was the flavor that day. While we aren’t big fans of banana pudding, it’s the perfect breakfast item for those with a sweet tooth.Â
Overall, Pom Court’s brunch is a nice addition to the hotel’s offerings, providing a calm and cozy brunch experience for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of brunch in Atlanta.Â
